How come my Raphael.js circle object is not getting its 'attr' changes animated & not getting the jQuery HandlerOut event object applied to it?

I have created a #logo DIV that consists of a smaller #circle DIV & h1. The #circle acts as the DIV/canvas that my Raphael.js object, a circle, is rendered in. My goal was to make it so when a user hovers over the #logo DIV the Raphael.js circle and h1 will get animated but I ran into some problems.

• For some reason my Raphael.js circle object is not getting it's .attr() meth开发者_如何学编程od animated during a jQuery .hover() handlerIn mouse event. The change just happens immediately.

• Additionally, during the handlerOut event, the Raphael.js circle does not get its .attr() method applied to it at all. It just keeps the .attr() attributes that were applied to it during the handerIn event

$(c.node).animate({fill: "#666"}, 2000);

This is jQuery animation. Obviously jQuery has no idea about Raphaël objects. Use Raphaël animation instead:

c.animate({fill: "#666"}, 2000);

General advice don’t touch node property unless you really really know what you doing.
